GRIEF ON THE WEB.

- Abstract
Western societies increasingly have been dismantling the boundaries that separate life and death. Studies of grief have repeatedly found that life and death are not separate. The articles contained in the 2004 issue of Omega: Journal of Death and Human Development seek to suggest that the bonds between the living and the dead continue into the indefinite future and that the dead as well as the living play an active part in that bond. The four articles in the 2004 issue discuss a new means that bereaved people have found to represent their continuing bonds with the deceased, with central theme focus on the reality of holding on and letting go. Another article explores the meaning of community for persons who enter the memorials on the Web.
